what should I do with this peculiar score?

<p>CR:510
M:800
W:720</p>

<p>I got a score 2000+ with 510 on CR...</p>

<p>I am an international student, and I will major in engineering</p>

<p>Do I have any chance of getting accepted to very good private universities? (top 20 unis?)</p>

<p>Ah, I don’t know…that 510 will DEFINITELY raise eyebrows!</p>

3

<p>Raise it to at least 600 and you’ll be fine for top 20.</p>

4

<p>I am in a very similar situation…just looking to break 600 in CR advice would be greatly appreciated</p>

5

<p>hmm… my friend is in almost same situation–she has 560 on CR. I agree with needhelpfast (er… weird username): go with retake and aim for 600 on CR.</p>

<p>Actually, I wouldn’t put it past some colleges to just think you misbubbled. Especially since your writing score is so high, it shows that your English skills aren’t that bad.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, what’s up with that? Your writing score is high, but the reading is low? Hmm I would definitely retake the test and just concentrate on the reading.</p>
